Detroit Lions DE Ziggy Ansah (knee) was limited during practice Saturday, Sept. 16, and is listed as questionable for Week 2. OG T.J. Lang (non-injury) and DT Haloti Ngata (non-injury) did not participate in practice but are not on the injury report.

Detroit Lions DT Haloti Ngata missed multiple games for the second straight season and is coming off the worst statistical season of his career, but announced in early March he would be returning for a 13th season, something head coach Jim Caldwell addressed at the owners meetings this week.
"Obviously, when you get to (have) played as many years as he has, you never know (about retirement). And I think once a guy gets about eight, nine years (in), that's certainly always a possibility. But certainly we're glad that he's coming back," Caldwell said.

Detroit Lions DT Haloti Ngata hasn't played a full 16-game schedule since 2011, and beat writer Dave Birkett believes the Lions need to monitor Ngata's snap count in 2016 in order to keep him healthy and productive.

Detroit Lions DT Haloti Ngata feels like his old self this offseason. Head coach Jim Caldwell said Ngata was hampered last season and they didn't get to see how well he could play. Caldwell expects Ngata to play at his ceiling more consistently in 2016.

Detroit Lions DT Haloti Ngata said he is finally settling in with the Lions. "This is totally different," Ngata said Thursday, May 26. "I'm here, family's here so I don't really have to worry about trying to find a house or where we're going to stay, traveling back and forth. I've been here all off-season and it's just been great."

Detroit Lions DT Haloti Ngata re-signed for two years at $12 million, but at 32 years old the team will be keeping him on a year-to-year basis. Ngata received a $4 million signing bonus, and $2 million base, which is all guaranteed. The team can then get out of the current deal by cutting him and taking just a $2 million cap hit next offseason.

Detroit Lions impending free-agent DT Haloti Ngata wants to play in the 2016 season and beyond, however it appears unlikely he will finish up his career with the Baltimore Ravens. The team doesn't have a need for him, as they are expected to look for a pass rusher in the offseason instead.

Detroit Lions DT Haloti Ngata said he would love to stay in Detroit next season. General manager Bob Quinn and Ngata's agent are expected to discuss a new contract once Quinn returns from Senior Bowl practices.
